Captain Relax Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I know I should be careful with what I wish for but, I would like another shot at the Eagles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meixdaddy_10 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 A lot of things to like about this game: 1- Vikes win. Ugly win, but a win is a win. 7-1 seems almost unbelievable looking at the schedule going into the season. 2- Hockenson gives us an element we didnt have before and we took advantage when we could. 3- Defense played mostly lights out. Evans stepped up big time when called upon. Hunter and the D line showed a ton of pressure today and that helped lead to the Smith INT and great celebration. 4- Kirk came up big with a lot of throws under pressure. 5- Dalvin TD catch was epic! 6- Joseph was clutch. No misses on fgs or xps regardless of how close they are is a major win in my book. 7- First drive game scripts have been on point most of the year, no different today 8- The team never quit and got down on itself when trailing by double digits in the 4th qtr. Love the heart! A lot to dislike about the game: 1- D tackling seems atrocious for the most part. a few splash plays tackling like the Kendricks one early on, but overall seems like we're letting them drag us for a few extra yards every carry. Or we're just not wrapping up and letting them get some good gains. 2- Ingram is struggling big time, love the potential but he is a ways off and i dont like that they havent found someone to take his place. 3- Run game mostly non-existent. Need to fix it asap. 4- Offense after opening drive couldnt get anything goin until 4th quarter. 5- Not our fault and usually happens to every team so have to get over it, but the officiating seemed terrible. A lot of our guys got contacted pretty hard with no calls but they gave them some sketchy calls and no-calls (Samuel push off, Reagor non-facemask, etc). Not to mention the Bynum take-down on the Samuel TD. Dude has to come upfield not go headhunting one of the players. That was terrible and changed the whole complexion of the game. Thankfully we pulled it out. All in all, we got the W and it is on to a tough matchup in Buffalo against a team that is likely to be hungry coming off a loss against the surprising Jets. Hope we can find a way to pull that one off. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 This locker room has a very 2009 feel to it. The team doesn’t have the overall talent of the 2009 roster, but these players are having fun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really the next 4 games are tough. Patriots are no slouch and Jets are coming off a huge win against Buffalo. Thankfully 3 of the next 4 are at home though. Gives us a little bit of an edge in those games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The next four games will be a gut check time for this team. If they can manage 2-2 over that stretch, I’d consider that a very good result. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDBrocks Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 luckily after going to Buffalo they get the next 3 at home. The turnaround from the Cowboys game to the Thanksgiving game against the Pats will be really tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Eagles, Dallas is probably they only other NFC team that looks like they could be better than the Vikings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now there isn’t a strong threat from the NFC West or the NFC South. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 We probably should've blown them out. Washington is very aggressive though and played their hearts out. They could be good in a couple years I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
